Avgolemono Soup, incredibly good on a cold day.

1 Quart chicken broth
2 Tsp Olive oil
1 Onion chopped fine
1 Bunch green onion
1 Carrot grated
2/3 Cup Rice
2 Lemons juiced
2 Eggs
2 Cups hot water
Fresh dill if available
Salt/Pepper

Sauté onion in olive oil till tender, about 10 minutes, add chicken stock, carrot, rice, salt/ pepper. Let simmer till rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Add green onions and use hot water to correct volume, just add enough to get a soup consistency. Combine eggs and lemon juice and whisk, then add some hot soup to eggs slowly, till they blend together, about 1 cup. Add egg mixture slowly into soup, stirring constantly so eggs don’t curdle. Correct salt & pepper, add dill and serve.

Nice additions to recipe, chopped chicken, asparagus tips.

Squeeze juice, put in ice cube trays, after they are frozen hard take out of trays and put in ziplock, repeat. Any time you need juice take out a few cubes and mely

Preseved lemons are great in salads, chutneys, tapenades, Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine. And jars of homemade preserved lemons make great Christmas gifts too.

Give them to friends. Homegrown lemons produce about four times the juice as storebought ones.

melt some butter, add lots of lemon juice, salt, white pepper, and crabmeat. great topping for fish, steak, or even fried paperclips.
